Keith Olbermann's arrogance and pomposity have reached unbelievable heights this year. But he sets a new bar with this ten minute rant against President Bush (and John McCain) and in defense of John Kerry's "botched joke" from the other day.
It's telling that Olbermann starts his screed against Bush by arrogantly assserting, as Kerry did in his "I apologize to no one" speech the other day, that anyone who might have misinterpreted Kerry's words or taken them at face value is either a total moron or completely evil. "The context was unmistakable" Oblermann says, adding that there was "no interpretation required." Really? Is that why millions of Americans, including many U.S. troops from all around the world were offended by Kerry's remarks? But, of course, Keith Olbermann is clearly much smarter than all those people who were "too stupid" to get Kerry's lame joke - even though he "botched" it.
That's exactly the sort of elitist attitude that Americans hate, whether it's coming from a stuck up Senator from Beacon Hill or a stuffed shirt former sports broadcaster who now fancies himself the reincarnation of Edward R. Murrow. Here's the whole ten minutes of Olbermann's unadulterated arrogance, if you can stomach it:

I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of it, the hate was EXTREME!
Watching that video would mark the first time I pay any attention to Keith Moronman...I shall pass.
He is being helped...he is on his way out to CNBC per sale reports elsewhere. Soon......
"Kerry did in his "I apologize to no one"
What Kerry meant to say in his apology was that he apologizes to PEGGY 'noonan'.
I know it's not appropriate to say, so I'll just sit here and think about what I'd do if I ever passed this piece of $hit on the street. Maybe I should start a bail-raising effort now.
He's right, it was unmistakable; yet he managed to mistake it.
I'm not reading it...thereby giving KO the publicity he so desperately needs and craves.
Who is this 'Olbermann' you speak of?
Olberman is such a fool he "gets it."
Thanks Keith. Keep on kicking this story right back to the top.
If someone accused a Democrat of eating $hit sandwiches, Ubertwit Olberman would defend them by saying he knows first hand they don't like bread.
"...anyone who might have.. taken them (kerry's words) at face value is either a total moron or completely evil."
I agree. This goes for every word that has left the mouth of Kerry. But this is not news to Republicans.
I'm getting real close to deleting MSNBC from my channel lineup. There's nothing on that channel that I can watch more then 30 seconds.
Keith Olberman ranted and a tree fell in the woods.
Olbermann is 100% correct! The context was unmistakable and no interpretation required: Kerry called the troops stupid!
The 'worst' performance on that show has got to be Lawerence 'Mad Dog' O'Donnell. It's a classic!
